September 7, 2015CD Review from Fanfare MagazineJasmine's latest album Telemann Files by Fanfare Magazine:
...Korean flutist Jasmine Choi began her training at the Curtis Institute at age 16 and completed a master's degree at the Juilliard School; The Telemann Files is her first Baroque album and her ﬁlth solo CD. Choi draws out the contrapuntal textures of the fantasias with a robust lower register. She has a broad color palette, which lends well to the development of individual characters. Her approach to the A-Major is spirited yet innocent. ... Choi's articulation is crisp and clean throughout, and her intonation is spotless. ... The best track on Choi's album is the Fantasia in D Major, ‘Alla francese," which she plays with welcome abandon. Choi is more generous with her vibrato in the upper register, and her tone in the lower register pedal points is explosive. The ornamental scales are played deliberately, with equal attention devoted to each note. The trills, likewise, are even, with the upper and lower note receiving the same duration and volume. Choi's performance of the largo preceding the final presto is exceptional. Overall, this is a CD that I highly recommend. ... This CD won't be collecting dust on my shelf any time soon.
- Natalie Piontek.

March 29, 2013A Rave Review of Brahms' 4th Symphony"Orchestral soloists were excellent – including the new principal flutist. Luisi’s phrasing was intimate and deeply personal in the slow movement, and the audience barely moved. The Scherzo, in contrast, was brilliant and red-blooded. In the finale, Choi phrased the famous flute solo with exquisite beauty, projecting a tone of almost vocal color on her golden flute." from Cincinnati Enquirer

Superstar flutist Jasmine Choi has performed throughout Europe, Asia, and the U.S. in a variety of genres, from solo, chamber, and orchestral to experimental, jazz, and pop. She has played her own arrangements of major works, including the Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky violin concertos, as well as recent world-premiers composed by Detlev Glanert, Texu Kim, and Mark Laycock.

Ms. Choi is a full-time soloist during the season living in Austria between concert tours. During summer seasons she is the principal flute of the Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra at Lincoln Center, New York. Her previous orchestral positions include principal flute of the Vienna Symphony under Fabio Luisi and associate principal flute of the Cincinnati Symphony under Paavo Jarvi.

Highlights of her 2016-17 season include performances with the Berlin Symphony at the Philharmonie's New Year's Eve concert, and with Salzburg Mozart Players, New York Classical Players, Sarasota Orchestra, Jyvaskyla Sinfonia in Finland, KBS Symphony in Korea, as well as recitals in Paris, Munich, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Seattle. Ms. Choi's performance will be featured in celebration towards the Winter Olympics in PyungChang, Korea.

Many of us remember Rampal’s iconic recording of the Bolling Suite. Granted Rampal’s recording is a challenging act to follow, but Choi quite successfully brings a fresh and definitive look to the score. The playing is expressive and nuanced. This CD should be on the “must have” list for serious flutist.The Flute Talk Magazine
